After many happy years in Emain Ablach a group returned to #Ireland. One sailor was so moved that he leaped ashore. The eager man could not endure the transition to earthly time. In the #Otherworld, time passes more slowly than does ours, and as all his years caught up with him he died and faded to dust within an instant.

John Lauro, Trumps attorney, has no irises. Only pupils.

Kinda lets you know he’s from the #otherworld

When the sun sat at the horizon, it was the point in #mythic time when the #Mórrígan drove her cattle back into #Oweynagat. Every night at sunset they entered the #Otherworld through the souterrain entrance of this cave.

„The various legends all claim #Hy-Brasil to be an island paradise, populated either by the Gods, or #druids. In #Irish #mythology, the #Otherworld was divided into two realms, that of the Sidhe in their hollow hills, and the other being the island lands ruled by #Manannán, God of the Sea. Also known as the Blessed Isles, they lay ‘beyond the ninth wave', gentle places of peace, beauty, healing and eternal life. The realm of the Sidhe, by contrast, was as full of strife as the mortal world, as any of the myths about them show us; their lives were subject to the same passions, love, hate, desire, joy, power, jealousy, battles and death as are our own.“

#Niamh, Princess of the Golden Hair, had fallen in love with the poet #Oisin, who was overtaken on first sight with desire for this lovely woman from the #Otherworld. The beauty with the shining eyes pulled him onto her fine white horse with golden reins. Without a look back #Oisin went over seas and plains and mountains far beyond #Ireland to the Land of Pleasure.

„In #Irish #mythology, the #Otherworld islands, said to be #Manannán’s home, lie ‘beyond the ninth wave’. The ninth wave is said to be greater than any other wave before it, and is also known as the ‘Wave of Transformation’.
The Tuatha de Danann attempted to protect #Ireland from the attack of the invading Milesians by shrouding the land in fog and storms. They ordered the Milesians to go back beyond the ninth wave but the poet #Amergin countered the Danann magic, and breached the spell; supposedly, it was the ninth wave itself which broke through.
The Imramma is a sacred sea voyage in Irish mythology which takes the traveller beyond the ninth wave in search of the magical Otherworld and the Gods which inhabit it. In this way, we can see that the voyage is more a spiritual journey than a physical one, the wave of transformation perhaps bringing with it the wisdom and knowledge we all ultimately seek.“

#Celtic #MythologyMonday: Bláthnat is often characterized as deceitful and traitorous for plotting Cú Roí’s death, after he stole her from #CúChulainn, who brought her from the #Otherworld. She revealed to CúChulainn, who had become her lover, the secret way to kill her husband and thus escape her enslavement.
The story does not end with that bloodshed, for Cú Roí’s poet Ferchertne pushed Bláthnat over a cliff, killing himself in the process.

#Celtic #FolkloreThursday: Brân Vendigeit 'the Blessed' had taken a cauldron from a pair of #Irish demons, which they had brought from the #Otherworld. If one lit a fire under it and filled it in the evening with the corpses of the slain, they were revived the next morning, only that they lacked the ability to speak.

`There is both archaeological and textual evidence of a fear that the dead could return from their graves to haunt the living (cf. https://arcjohn.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/mezzanine_398-crop-380x214.jpg), and some funerary rites seem designed to forestall that, including binding the feet of corpses as though to assure they would not wander about. Later customs kept the feet free, apparently to speed the dead on their way to the `#Otherworld and prevent their hanging about to bother the living.`

`The lone hawthorn standing in the middle of a field was treated with much respect, and some suspicion by farming communities. Whilst it was thought to be auspicious, bringing good fortune and prosperity to the landowner, it was also thought to belong to the magical folk of the #Otherworld, the Sidhe. As such, it was never to be cut or harmed for fear of bringing their wrath upon the perpetrator.
In fact, some farmers would go so far as to pile boulders around the base of the tree so as not to accidentally cause damage to the trunk whilst ploughing or reaping around it.
The Maguires were chieftains of Fermanagh since 1302, descended from High King Cormac mac Airt. Their inaugural site was at Linaskea, where they were crowned beneath a hawthorn tree.`
